17

The drive too fast
The past the future
The perfume the room
The beer the cure

The cinema the film
The heart exploding
The air of knowing
The doom unfolding

The look the miss
The book the kiss
The night the laughter
The morning after

The results the place
The college the face
The party the place
The longing the space

The love the lost
The kitten the cost
The music the sound
The jealousy the profound

The poetry the table
The chair and the gable
The hair the caress
The more the less

The loss the derision
The hope the glory
The kiss the laughter
The lesson the story.
